MTV MIXTAPE: Jay-Z Credits 'Truth' For His Long Rap Reign
Hov had a big week with Blueprint 3 hitting stores on September 8. Numbers don't lie and neither does Jay-Z. Regardless of his media blitz the past seven days (really it started once "D.O.A." dropped over the summer), Jay-Z says the real key to sustained popularity is the way he articulates his personal facts in his music.
"All my music and emotions is based off real truth. I believe that's why I'm here and still competing for VMA nominations and Grammys every year," Jay said. He not only performed at this past Sunday's Video Music Awards, but was also up for a couple of Moonmen against the likes of Eminem, Kanye West and Asher Roth. "Ten #1 albums in a row. That's not something you can doctor. I can make the greatest marketing plan in the world ... I can't make that happen unless that's some truth under there."
